It's 1/4 scale not just about scale.

Size also matters to buyers and a diminutive pose makes for a smaller statue that for many will lack presence even on it's own and especially compared to other pieces in a collection or the price.

15 inches of height is just a lot for the money, similar to the Campbell Black Cat statue.

I think for many, when compared to the multiple heads for say Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix and Captain Marvel, size and intricacy, not to mention the $50 price increase due to the mistake in the preview; turned a lot of people off.

I know for me, if this was $50 less and/or had a better EX option, I would have gotten it on day 1. But now I will wait for a discount code or coupon or look to buy the reg locally for less.

The outfit they chose plus that price tag is an easy pass for me.
That goes without saying. It speaks for itself.

So it's a pose choice.
And after everyone complain about captain morgan pose.
At least we have something different.

i own the black cat too and she perfectly fits the JSC line.
i would have preferred the original crawling pose for sur

For me too the price is more a concern for what we see.
Maybe the armor is more difficult to do in factories ?

Fun to see it's the same problem with black cat qz33 was speaking about just above, she had a quite noticable price increase too

Great statue but price is too much for this one. Even with a coupon it's still too much. I will buy later for 400.00 or so shipped. Demand is not huge for this anyways.

Funny part is people forget how much less these statue went for just 10 years ago. Emma Frost $124.99 just under 10 years ago here is a link with all the details. A five time increase is quite the leap in 10 years.

Does costume matter to you? It does to me. It has to be the original, or damn near close. But Marvel will cover her up.
